SKATE NEWS






There's nothing that makes more sense than competition and art. Just kidding. They're like oil and water, really. But, it looks like pure fun over at Globe. Creativity is at an all-time high. The dangling pole jam is a pretty sweet idea, but what does in mean? Is there some subconscious message? Trip out on the colors and the patterns, contemplate what art is. Reap the rewards of Duchamp's deconstruction of contemporary art and stare at a urinal. Or, look at Globe's entry to Skate & Create—Josh Brooks

To all skate nerdity, here's a reminder—whether you knew or not—that there is a comprehensive site devoted to all things skate video if you happen to want to know obscure trivia, like the name of that one song that Daxter Lussier skated to in Troubleshooters. You can even rate Lance Mountain's intros in each 411 VM. Skim The Fat is most definitely a gem of skate history reference.—Josh Brooks

First off, let’s give respect where respect is due - skateboarding with all the creative forces involved gave birth to our booming industry. Now, many of us who love skateboarding sneakers and all the spheres of culture they influence are just too young to understand their history, but now thanks to every sneaker addicts favorite magazine, Sneaker Freaker, we can get some factual knowledge (19 pages worth to be exact) from legendary skateboarders, film makers, photographers and others that grew up with this once niche and rejected culture. Stacey Peralta, Bruce Walker, and Steve Alba are just some of the epic names that contribute to the article, Barefoot and Bitumen: The History of Skate Sneakers, 1960-85.
